About the project

A local, self-hosted equivalent of GitHub Actions: runs .github/workflows unmodified in isolated microvms with debug and step-level retries.

Useful for
  • Run GitHub Actions locally on uncommitted changes
  • Self-host a runner without GitHub-hosted minutes
  • Debug a failed workflow step with pause and retry

1.7 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 12, 2026, 09:41 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

02040July 15, 2026October 12, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-12 (UTC), 08:41–09:34: 193 → 193 stars (+0). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +3 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Hacker News: “Show HN: Preloop – GitHub Actions locally in microvms and SSH/pause failures” — 8 points, 9 h ago.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 22. +100% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
